This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 189,768, filed Oct. 15, 1971 and now abandoned.

This invention relates to new 2:1 cobalt complexes of a 1:1 cobalt complex of an aminophenol→2-phenylaminonaphthalene sulfonic acid azo dye and an aminophenolsulfonamide→Acetoacetylphenylamideazo dye.

More particularly the new dyes correspond to the formula ##STR2## where

R1 stands for a hydrocarbon radical which may be substituted,

R2 and R3 each stands for hydrogen or a lower alkyl radical which may be substituted,

X1 and X2 each stands for halogen, a nitro group or an alkyl or alkoxy radical which may be substituted,

M+ for a cation, and the ring A may be further substituted.

The aforestated cobalt complex compounds can be produced by reacting a 1:1 cobalt complex of a monoazo compound of the formula ##STR3## where X1 and X2 have one of the aforestated meanings, with a monoazo compound of the formula ##STR4## where R1, R2 and R3 likewise have the aforestated meanings.

Alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl radicals are suitable for substituents R1. The alkyl radicals contain preferably 1 to 12 carbon atoms, may be straight or branched and may bear further substituents such as halogen atoms, alkoxy groups, cyano groups and the like. The first choice as aryl radicals are phenyl radicals which also may be substituted by halogen atoms such as chlorine or bromine, alkyl or alkoxy radicals, a cyano group, the carboxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group and the like.

The radicals R2 and R3 may be hydrogen or lower alkyl radicals which may be straight or branched and may bear further substituents such as halogen atoms or hydroxy or lower alkoxy groups.

If X1 and X2 represent halogen, chlorine and bromine are the preferred meanings. The trifluoromethyl group also is a preferred substituent. The alkyl or alkoxy radicals, which may be substituted, are preferably lower radicals having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and if they are substituted they bear substituents such as halogen, primarily chlorine or bromine, the trifluoromethyl group or cyano radicals. It is preferable for one or both the radicals X1 and X2 to be nitro groups.

The cation M30 is preferably a lithium, sodium, potassium or ammonium cation.

The preferred 2:1 cobalt complex compounds of the general formula (I) above are those in which the radical R1 is a straight or branched alkyl radical having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, a phenyl radical or a cycloalkyl radical, R2 and R3 are hydrogen or lower alkyl radicals with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, X1 and X2 are nitro groups or halogen atoms, and where the SO3 H group occurs in the ring A and this ring is not substituted further.

More specially preferred 2:1 cobalt complex compounds of the present invention are those in which the radical R1 is a branched alkyl radical with 6 to 10 carbon atoms or a phenyl radical, R2 and R3 are hydrogen, X1 and X2 are nitro groups, chlorine or bromine atoms in the 4- and 6-positions to the oxygen group on the benzene radical, the SO2 -NR2 R3 group (preferably SO2 NH2 group) occupies the 4- or 5-position to the oxygen group on the benzene radical and the SO3 H group in the ring A of formula (I) is in the 2- or 4-position to the amino group. The 2:1 cobalt complex compounds disclosed herein are best produced in aqueous or aqueous-organic solutions. The starting 1:1 cobalt complexes, which in part are known and whose formation is described below, are reacted preferably with stoichiometric amounts of the metal-free monoazo dye. The reaction takes place in alkaline solution and is allowed to proceed until the entire amount of the 1:1 cobalt complex has reacted. The 2:1 cobalt complex formed is then salted out, washed with a concentrated salt solution, collected and dried. The 2:1 cobalt complexes produced in accordance with this invention are readily soluble in water.

Some 1:1 cobalt complexes required as starting materials are known and are described in the literature, for example in French Pat. Nos. 1,431,264, 1,466,877 and 1,476,587.

The preferred starting material is a 1:1 cobalt complex which can be produced as follows. An azo dye of formula (II) is reacted with an agent donating cobalt in the presence of a nitrite, either in water, in a mixture of water and an organic solvent or in an organic solvent alone. The suitable temperature range for the reaction is about 0° to 60° C, the optimum range being 10°-30° C, and the reaction medium is set in the acid region, i.e. at a pH from 3 to 7 or preferably pH 5 to 6.

Cobalt donating compounds particularly suitable for the reaction include cobaltous formate, acetate, nitrate and sulphate. For formation of the 2:1 cobalt complex compounds it is best to employ 3-6 mols of the nitrite per gram atom of cobalt. In comparison with the known methods of cobalt complex formation the new process disclosed herein has the advantage that the 1:1 cobalt complex compounds are obtained in much greater purity and homogeneity; they are in fact quite free from by-products. It has been found that by using these highly pure 1:1 cobalt complexes, substantially pure asymmetrical 2:1 complexes are obtained (at least 95% pure).

The monoazo compounds of formula (III) employed as second starting material are for the most part known or can be produced by known methods. Their production is described, for example, in French Pat. Nos. 1,107,888 and 1,061,329.

As is evident to those in the art, the sulpho group of the complexes is usually in salt form, e.g. alkali metal salts.

The new 2:1 cobalt complex compounds obtained in accordance with this invention are useful for the dyeing of natural and synthetic polyamide fibers, e.g. wool, silk and nylon, and for the dyeing of leather and metals, notably aluminum.

The dyes disclosed herein give dyeings which have notable fastness to light and wet treatments (water, sea water, milling and perspiration) with notable rubbing fastness. The dyes build up on polyamide fibres from neutral medium and as they are of asymmetrical nature, they show the desired property of a uniform rate of dyeing, in contrast to the compounds described in Swiss Patent 317,120. Furthermore, the dyeings obtained have notable wash fastness, hot water fastness, pressing fastness, are stable to alkali and acids and have satisfactory dischargeability. The dyeings made on wool exhibit notable carbonization fastness.

In the following Examples the parts are by weight and the temperatures in degrees centigrade.

The 1:1 cobalt complex from 51 parts of the monoazo dye 2-amino-1-hydroxy-4, 6-dinitrobenzene-2-phenylaminonaphthalene-4'-sulphoni c acid, whose method of production is described below, and 41 parts of the dye formed by coupling diazotized 2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene-4-sulphonic acid amide to 1-acetoacetylamino-2-ethylhexane are stirred into 500 parts of water and 150 parts of alcohol, then dissolved by the addition of sodium hydroxide solution at pH 12.0 and 20°. Stirring is continued for a few hours at 20° until the 1:1 cobalt complex has completely disappeared. The solution is filtered and potassium chloride is added to salt out the dye. It is filtered, washed with 20% potassium chloride solution and dried. The dye obtained, which is at least 95% pure, has the formula ##STR5## and dissolves readily in water and dyes natural and synthetic polyamide fibres in olive green shades.

The dyeings show notable fastness to light, rubbing and wet treatments such as water, sea water, milling and perspiration.

The 1:1 cobalt complex used as starting material in the above procedure is produced as follows.

A solution of 28 parts of cobaltous sulphate × 7H2 O and 42 parts of sodium nitrite in 400 parts of water is prepared. At 10° 51 parts of the dye obtained by acid coupling of diazotized 2-amino-1-hydroxy-4,6-dinitrobenzene to 2-phenylaminonaphthalene-4'-sulphonic acid are added, whereupon the dye goes partly into solution. To complete dissolution, 50 parts of dimethylformamide are added dropwise. The pH is maintained at 5.0-5.5 by adding hydrochloric acid. The metallising reaction commences at once and after approximately 2 hours is complete. Salt is added to precipitate the 1:1 cobalt complex and it is isolated by filtration, washed with water and dried.

The 1:1 cobalt complexes used as starting materials in Examples II to XIII are produced in an analogous manner.

The following dyes can be produced in the same manner.
